How to fly airplanes?

[captainnick14]

Hi I've tried multiple times the fly the airplanes at Los Santos International Airport but I can't pull up and take off. I can reverse, accelerate and make turns but that's it. That's the only thing I don't know how to do. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

A: Move to the left.
D: Move to the right.

Numpad 8: Lose altitude.
Numpad 5: Gain altitude.
Numpad 4: Knife to the left.
Numpad 6: Knife to the right.

move left/right = yaw, knife left/right = roll, lose/gain altitude = pitch animations to explain[howthingsfly.si.edu]. i found it much easier to fly with yaw and roll controls swapped (change key bindings); for some reason it feels more natural that way but that might just be me.

Most people use a controller to fly and drive and use M+KB for gunplay and general onfoot scenarios.

Mouse and Keyboard work just fine for all the driving/flying controls.

Dont know why not. Certain games need them to be played properly. Fighting games, Dark Souls, GTA, etc.

Right, we PC Gamers don't ever use controllers, wheels, flightsticks... /facepalm

Playing the singleplayer campaign teaches you about these things
